- Ford Escort XR3i Cabriolet. This classic 80s icon comes in the popular Diamond White paintwork with added RS Turbo extras.
Tim shows us around the car and what made this car so iconic before taking the car on the road for an extended test drive. Bring back those memories from one of the best decades for cars, music and movies.
The car on test is a 1987 model build in Germany. Added to the car is the RS Turbo body kit, wheels and full Recaro interior.
This will be the third Ford Escort reviewed on the Tim Bush Channel with previous episodes reviewing the mark 1 RS and the legendary mark 2 RS 2000.
If you have ever owned one of these cars before you will know why Ford sold so many. Reasonably inexpensive to buy when new, a bit of performance and great looks. The mark 4 obviously replaced the mark 3 but was really just a face lift, as Fords thinking was "if its not broken don't fix it". But with the mark 3 Ford decided to go with front engine and front wheel drive. Many believe this was the beginning of the end for the Escort with one more hurrah before its final demise....The Escort Cosworth...

My first car was a Ford Escort convertible, R Reg was probably my favourite car out of all my cars

@@GQ-yj5oy don’t wait, life is too short. Go and buy one as you cant lose any money..
Bought 1 last week for 2.7k needs some TLC can't wait to get it running
Nice one Richard. Try and keep it original.
Beautiful car.
Nice one Matt. Get yourself one before they go back up in price again.
I've got one in my garage!
Good for you. Its gonna keep going up in value.
When done Seany mate,well deserved. You’ve worked damn hard to get to this stage.
The feature was beautifully nostalgic for us 80s/90s fast car enthusiasts.
Nice one Cliff. Is that a seagull on your head!
@@TheTimBushChannel Yes! 🤣 How come the Escort came back with the wheels on? Ran out of bricks up there? 🤣🤣🤣
Hey Sean! Why the block on other site? My dad was just pointing out a fact that you didn’t actually build this car? He rebuilt it completely and fitted all the extras including power steering? You shouldn’t tell porkies if you don’t like the truth coming out especially on something like youtube. Ask yourself one question.. do you have all the photos of the actual build? or just pics of it being cleaned. Your right about one thing the car is beautiful but to go as far as taking credit for something you haven’t done is rather sad tbh. Then when questioned about it you try to block everyone that knows the true history of the build 😂 enjoy you’re car you’ve obvislouly worked hard for it but maybe just be honest next time aye 😉
@@waynefelton1963 Your exact attitude is why he got blocked, coming on and spreading negativity when it was just a review on a car he owns, your dad and his bullshit disappointed post. Your sister having a go at Sean’s mum… sad family!
thanks Cliff i am happy with the level the car is at now, and happy with the work i have carried out to the car in my ownership.
i am glad that people enjoy seeing it as that is what classic cars are for, the car has had 12 owners so that a lot of hands on the car in 35 years,
but it will require a new paint job next year i am thinking sunburst red with black turbo stripes to go with the turbo engine when i have it 😎😎 when i fitted the turbo alloys to it i had them refurbished in a flip silver but if its going sunburst red then they have to go black, i am also thinking a s1 body kit 👍👍
Hale village looks well….great channel
Thanks Chris. I see your a local man, yea, Hale Village is rather nice.
@@TheTimBushChannel not far away,nice to see the escort on its home turf..👍

I do mention on the video that the car was built in Germany.
So proud to see my son's car being reviewed and all his work being rewarded - thank you. Well done Sean - super excited for you
You are wrong! My dad sold this car and done all the body kit, paint, decals & the power stearing.. He should have full credit for that, he loved his car.. your son never done any of this work.. 👍
Have I said that he did all the work you mention? No! I was referring to the work he has done to it since buying it!
@@jarvis186 Be more clearer in your reply then! The work mentioned in the video was all my dads 👌
@@cherrydarlin1984 Just enjoy seeing the car in all it's glory
Wow thanks Jane. Your son is a lovely man who has a lovely car. Happy Days.
